Scouting report
Basketball has taken Dillon Brooks a long way from his Mississauga home — from college in Oregon to his professional debut in Memphis, to this year’s Paris Olympics and the start of a new NBA season in Houston. But he hasn’t forgotten the Toronto program that gave him his start. This season, Brooks has become the major sponsor of the Father Henry Carr Catholic Secondary School (FHC) senior boys’ basketball program — the same program he helped lead to three undefeated seasons from 2010 to 2013, according to a Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) news release.
Michael Grange: Crazy stat via Josh Su, who is helping on the comms side for @canball in France: Canada’s starters — SGA, Brooks, RJ, Powell and Dort — have outscored opponents by 39 points in 25 minutes through three games. They’ve held opponents to 21.4% (9/42 FG) shooting from the field.
International basketball fans often talk about FIBA’s versions of players like Patty Mills, Ricky Rubio, Carmelo Anthony, or Nicolas Batum. It’s becoming clear that FIBA’s Dillon Brooks is also in a league of his own. “It’s all of those things [different rulebook, coaching staff, teammates]. I like to play for my country; it gives me a lot of passion to do so,” Brooks revealed to BasketNews. “For the game itself, you have to be 40 minutes attentive to detail. All those things add a lot more to a player, and I like the ball as well.”
